Remote Learning Resources

Resources for Remote Learning

The past couple of years have been difficult, no? Between school closures due to virus outbreaks and having to stay home to help your kids get on Zoom classes all day, parents have been run ragged. So, we thought we'd give you a short overview here of how you can find resources on Learnamic to help with remote learning, whether its directed by a traditional school or you're thinking of switching to full homeschooling and aren't sure where to start.

Online Schools

The first thing to be aware of is that there are entire schools available online that you can enroll your children into. These tend to be fairly expensive, but they do offer a complete online school experience, comparable with that of traditional schools. The big difference, however, is that they are geared towards online learning in the first place, where many traditional schools still seem to still be struggling with how to effectively conduct classes online, from how to keep kids engaged to even how to effectively run a Zoom meeting.

To find online schools, first go to one of our Grade Level pages, then scroll down to the "Full Curricula" section, and look for options listed as "Online class."

Grade Levels: Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, High School, College

Online Classes

Or, perhaps you're mostly satisfied with your current schooling situation, but want to take an extra class to catch up or get ahead in a certain subject. This is often a good idea for kids who have switched schools or those who are not native speakers and need to catch up quickly. In this case, head on over to our Online Classes page to check out our options, or give our Search a try to find the subject you want to learn, and then you can browse through a large variety of resource types.

Full Class Curricula

Or, perhaps you're not satisfied with your current school experience at all, and you'd like to try schooling at home. Homeschooling can be an amazing experience for kids (and parents!), but if you're new to teaching, it may be wise to start with a full curricula solution. Full curricula tend to be fairly expensive, but they're cheaper than private school, and you will normally get a full year's worth of materials, from textbooks to teacher's guides to workbooks to materials for science and social studies projects. Many have some sort of religious influence, so be aware of that when choosing the correct one for you and your kiddos.

To find Full Curricula, first go to one of our Grade Level pages, then scroll down to the "Full Curricula" section, and look for options listed as "Online class."

Grade Levels: Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, High School, College

Another option along this line is "Math Curricula." While many parents feel comfortable teaching reading, history and social studies, some do not feel comfortable teaching math, so many providers have the option of buying a curricula for just math for a certain grade level. To check out our full math curricula, search for "[your grade level] math curriculum" (e.g. "1st grade math curriculum"), or you can browse them all here.

Reinforcement Learning

Lastly, perhaps your students just need a little extra practice with a certain topic - that's nothing a little extra practice (reinforcement) can't help with. Learnamic is full of amazing resources for reinforcement learning, from books and printable worksheets to online classes and Youtube videos. Just try out our search for whatever subject you're looking for, and you're sure to find some great options.

The Printable Worksheets we list are particularly popular, and for K-12 we'd specifically recommend 15Worksheets.com., a huge collection of printables sorted by subject that was assembled by a group of retired teachers.

We hope this has given you some good starting points to get you on your way. Remember - mistakes will be made, so don't beat yourself up about it! Kids are resilient, and if you don't find the right materials or classes right off the bat, it's okay, just try something new next time. Your kids will just be happy to try new things, and they'll learn one way or another, so just jump in and give it a shot!
